LONDON ― Amid mounting calls to break Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports for grain exports, America’s top military officer said that to do so militarily would amount to a “high risk military operation.”
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the remarks to reporters as he arrived here Tuesday to meet with his “Five Eyes” counterparts before heading to Finland and Sweden, which have applied for NATO membership, later this week.

SPC Michael Terrell - You know what I mean: The majority of our population voted for him. I will remind people of that every chance I get so maybe next time they will look at the candidate's past actions and character a bit better. The state the world is in: Communist aggression, record gas prices, illegal aliens invading our Country, etc. was fully predictable with the policies Biden campaigned for. Biden probably had the worst record of doing nothing in the Senate. My comment wasn't about you personally brother.

No guts no glory comes to mind. The west has the ability to break the blockade, the will to avoid worldwide food shortages is another matter.

My Guts Said, "No Guts".
And NOT Dealing With Russia, Is Even MORE Risky.
Remember What Hitler Was Able Get Away With Until HE Was Stomped On?

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney As a former SAC bomb dropper I'm pretty much fed up with Putins going nuclear threat. Remember, we won the Cold War partly because our nuclear threat was bigger than theirs.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - ....
Putin Must Be Put Out Of Business...
I Was In SAC During Cuban Crisis, Cold War, Death Of JFK, And The Vietnam Era.
I See You Were B-52 Pilot?
And I Seriously Doubt The Public Had A CLUE As To The Events Which Were REALLY Going On..Especially This Situation With Cuba & Russia. That Deal Really Cost Us a Bundle...
As You Know, Russia Didn't Exactly Just Stroll Out Of Cuba
And JFK'S Death Has Almost Made A Complete U-Turn... It Really Appears As Though
Johnson Was Right In The Middle Of It, With 3 State Senators Ripping Off The Government, In What Could Be Referred To As A "Criminal Team".
Although The Cuban Crisis Was A Total Mess, It Cost Us Dearly Even Though Fidel Was Actually Working WITH Us, They Almost HAD To Become a Communist Nation,
Especially After How Much We Screwed Over Them When Fidel Took Power..,
